The battery, the wheels and the options change the figure enough that a headline price would be wrong for most buyers, so we price the vehicle you actually want, delivery included.

About the 23 Seater Sightseeing Bus
Twenty-three seats and a 1955 kg payload against a 1600 kg kerb weight, which makes this the only vehicle in the catalogue that carries more than it weighs. It runs a 72V 9 kW motor, leaf spring front suspension and power assisted recirculating ball steering, all of which are lorry solutions rather than buggy ones.
The 120 km range is genuine and stated loaded, which at this size is the figure that decides whether one bus covers a day or two do. It is 5.77 m long and turns in 8 m.
Where twenty-three seats earn their keep
- Large parks, resorts and attractions running a continuous circuit all day
- Park and ride operations on private land
- Sites where a coach cannot go and two smaller vehicles are the alternative
- Long routes where 120 km loaded is the requirement
What it will not do
- 8 m turning radius on a 5.77 m body. This needs a route planned around it, not fitted to one.
- Ground clearance is 100 mm, the lowest in the sightseeing and bus line, because the body sits low over a long wheelbase. Speed bumps and rough ground are a real constraint.
- Climbing capacity is 15% loaded. Fully laden on a gradient it will be working hard.
- Not road legal. At twenty-three seats that bears repeating: this is a private land vehicle whatever it resembles.

Questions about the 23 Seater Sightseeing Bus
- How many passengers, and how much can it carry?
- Twenty-three seats and a stated 1955 kg maximum load against a 1600 kg kerb weight. It is the only vehicle in our catalogue rated to carry more than it weighs.
- How far will it go with a full load?
- 120 km, about 75 miles, and the manufacturer states that figure loaded rather than empty, which is unusual and useful.
- What route does it need?
- A generous one. 5.77 m long, 8 m turning radius and only 100 mm of ground clearance, so speed bumps and uneven surfaces matter as much as corners.
- How much does it cost?
- We price to specification rather than publish a figure. Tell us the route, the daily hours and whether you want it enclosed, and we will quote it in full.

Not sure whether to buy or hire
As a rule, buying wins if you would use it more than a few weeks a year or need it available without arranging anything. Below that, hiring usually costs less and takes the maintenance off you. The calculator works it through on your own numbers rather than ours.
